Selective harmonic elimination/control is a widely researched alternative to traditional PWMtechniques. Previous work made fundamental assumptions that enforce quarter-wave symmetry,presumably in order to reduce the complexity of the resulting equations. This assumption is not required,and it restricts the solution space, which could result in suboptimal solutions with regard to theuncontrolled harmonic distribution. More general formulations can be proposed which have varyingdegrees of additional complexity.The first section of this dissertation describes a generalized selective harmonic control (GSHC).
